Pain Due To Kidney Stone. X-ray Showing Stone Still Present. Can Surgery Be Postponed For A Week?
My husband has a kidney stone of 6 mm and it hurt him last week pretty bad (we went to urgent care where he was diagnosed). He had another x-ray today and it showed that the stone did not move since then, but my husband don't have any pain for 6 days. We want to go on a cruise on June 8, but don't know what to do at this point. We hate to rush for surgery (it may pass by itself ). But don't want to risk it either. Shall we go ahead and have surgery done next week? Thank you! Elena
Where is the kidney stone? I suggest do a endoscopic surgery get the stone put in a stent then go to your cruise then after your cruise you can schedule the removal of the stent. With a stent in place you are sure there wont be chance of pain to ruin your vacation.
